Inshallah a Boy (إن شاء الله ولد)

Nawal, where are you?

You know it's the right time for us to try.

We already tried yesterday.

The doctor said we need to try on all my fertile days.

Maybe it worked yesterday?

Besides, it's my problem, not yours, right?

I'm the one who's on medication.

Please, Nawal, let me sleep. I'm exhausted.

We'll try again tomorrow.

Adnan!

Adnan, come on, get up!

Nora.

Are you awake?

Yes!

Wake your father up, otherwise, you guys will be late!

I tried, but he doesn't want to wake up.

Hurry up and get dressed!

Adnan.

Come on, you'll be late. Get up!

Wake your dad up.

Dad,

you promised to take me to the mall.

Come on, now. Mom will get pissed.

Adnan, what's wrong?

Come on, get up.

Adnan.

Peace be upon you.

Peace be upon you.

My sincere condolences, sister Um Nora.

May Allah give you the strength, to overcome this ordeal.

When a woman loses her husband, she actually loses her lover, partner,

and everything in her life.

Let's pray to God for mercy and forgiveness on him.

Repeat after me:

Dear God, please have mercy, forgive him and shroud him with Your blessings.

Amen.

The light of this house is extinguished and it is draped in darkness.

Dear God, give him a better home than this home,

and allow him into paradise along with the righteous.

- Amen. - Amen.

Sister Nawal, dear sisters,

a widow is obliged before God,

to safeguard her husband's reputation and honor.

She may not leave her house for four lunar months and 10 days.

But if you have duties or responsibilities,

then you may leave the house to do them.

But you must return before sunset.

Because, dear sisters, devils roam the world after sunset.

And you must avoid gatherings to avoid succumbing to temptation.

Did you hear from your employers, when do they expect you to return to work?

After the wake is over.

You couldn't ask for more time?

They barely managed without me.

I fear if I take more days off, they will replace me.

What about Nora? She needs time.

Honestly, I don't know...

She stays with Feryal after school, as usual.

Of course, I will take care of Nora, as always.

Bring her over whenever you want, I'm available.

Thank you, dear. I know you're always there.

My sweetheart.

These are the pajamas Adnan had on.

And these are the keys to the pick-up. It's parked downstairs.

This is his golden tooth.

If you wish, I'll let Ghayda sleep over tonight?

Better let her go home and rest. She's been on her feet all day.

You are strong and pious.

This is God's will, right?

Hello Rifqi, come in.

Peace be upon you.

- Thank you. - Call the kids.

They will eat later.

Come in, please, come in.

Am I going to school tomorrow?

No.

Is everyone coming tomorrow?

Yes.

And the day after tomorrow, as well.

Are my cousins also coming?

Will Dad be upset if I missed school?

No.

Finish your dinner.

Did Dad die or pass away?

Dying and passing away are the same thing.

Why?

Because he got tired.

Come on, finish up your food quickly so you can wash up and go to bed.

Nora!

Wake up, we're late!

I'm up.

Are you done? Get ready!

One minute.

You don't have a minute, we have to leave now.

I'm ready.

Alright.

Well done for getting ready quickly.

Tie up your laces.

How did Dad teach you?

Two rabbits' ears, then we cross them like this...

Don't move.

Watch how I tie it.

Here's the pick-up.

Come on, we don't want to miss the bus.

The topic for the coming hour is dedicated to the problem

of water scarcity in Jordan.

International reports warn against critical defiencies in water supply,

which is an issue that neither previous nor current government were able to...

May he rest in peace, dear.

My heartfelt condolences.

Thank you.

You have to be strong.

If you need anything, we're here for you.

I was worried that you'd ask for more days off.

It's been three days and she won't let anyone bathe her but you.

Colette is on the veranda!

How are you, gorgeous?

What's up, dear?

Did you miss me?

I missed you, too.

How are you, Nawal?

I'm sorry for your loss.

Thank you.

I wanted to call you,

but I felt it might be inappropriate.

No worries.

- Give it to me love. - Shall we get started?

How are you, gorgeous?

Are you this happy because your friend is back?

I didn't expect you to show up today, I thought you'd take a few more days off.

- Just to rest a bit. - I feel better today.

If you need anything, I'm here for you, you know that.

Enough with your shy attitude, I'm serious.

We've known each other for over four years now.

How are you, Lauren?

I'm sorry for your loss, honey.

May he rest in peace.

You never get fed up with repeating the same thing over and over again.

I told you a million times, even if your dad and I approve,

the church will not approve, They need a compelling reason.

Not now for God's sake.

Her rambling is more than enough.

All men like to play around.

Do as other women do.

Even Bill Clinton cheated on his wife!

What did she do? Nothing.

And there she is, a respectable lady appreciated by everyone.

How much did I put up with your dad

and his senseless behavior?

Just for your sake and to keep this family intact.

You need to put up with it and be patient, that's it!

All he does is screw around,

and you're telling me to put up with it?

This isn't a compelling reason for the priest?

You need witnesses, smartass!

Should I set up a photoshoot of him in bed with another woman?

Or what do you think if I send his shirts to the priest

to smell the other women's perfumes?

What better proof do you want, Mom?

Stop this nonsense!

Mocking the priest, too!

What's so funny?

I didn't mean it.

Why didn't you marry me off when I was 14?

It's legal here.

It would've been the only life I'd know and could've been happy with!

This way, I wouldn't have displeased the church or caused you a scandal.

Forget about her food for now.

Fix her manicure before you leave.

The guests are arriving early in the morning.

We don't want to create a scene.

She's on an empty stomach.

Do as I say.

Screaming won't help.

Then what would you do if you were in my shoes?

There's a key to every man.

Am I married to a human or a lock?

Why make it difficult? He's a player, with or without a key.

Eventually God will guide him to the right path.

This is the hope I should cling to?

That God will guide him? And what if God doesn't guide him?

Should I wait for him till he's done with all the sluts in town?

I'd never live like my mom,

stuck in this house waiting for his majesty to return to me.

It's better than spending the rest of your life alone.

Oh, I wish I was the bag!

My love.

You're late.

There was traffic, and the bus was late and I was worried it would get dark.

- Here you go, I made you fried tomatoes. - Thank you.

Your brother tried calling you several times.

He said you're not picking up.

I didn't hear it ring.

Ok, I'll call him now.

- Thanks, Feryal. - Take care.

I can't hear you.

I was worried that something had happened to you.

No, don't worry, all is well.

Good.

Rifqi called me, he wants to come by to check on you and Nora.

Okay, we're home, you're welcome to come.
